Spring Blossoms

Cherry blooms, apple blossoms, flowering almond branches, tulips, and songbirds...it must be spring at last!

In Japan, cherry blossoms are observed and cherished in a tradition called hanami. In the United States, Sakura Matsuri, the National Cherry Blossom Festival, is celebrated in Washington D.C. (March 28-April 12, 2009). Other cherry blossom festivals are held in Honolulu, Macon, Seattle, Pasadena, San Francisco, and Tuscaloosa. New York's Brooklyn Botanic Garden's festival's 2009 dates have not yet been set, but will be sometime in May.

Celebrate spring with note cards, journals, address books, note pads, and organizers from Galison.
